It’s here! The paper cut outs. I am hatching a plan to go, it’s been a long, long while but I will never forget the sense of wonder these amazing works impart. The story behind them only adds to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone in need of hope, or a reason to believe in […]

This week I spent a little time with my tiny garden-helper friend while mom was late at work… we made horses. Not sure who had more fun. Surprise… mine is pink. With a fancy dupioni silk mane & tail. But these are not just any horses. If you haven’t heard of Brooklyn artist Ann Wood, you […]
